Which country should you live in?

Depending on preference you could argue that any country in the world is the best to live in. Got a drug habit and dig euthanasia? Move to Columbia and be happier than Tom Cruise on Oprah’s couch, though probably not as high.

If ocean views and a snail pace turn you on, Cape Town rocks it slow enough to qualify. If religious extremism is your thing and you don’t believe women should drive or think or anything, then head to Saudi Arabia and smugly coast the highways as you contemplate more ways to violate human rights.

Need prostitutes? Hit Amsterdam. You’re a Midget wrestling aficionado? Then head to Mexico where loads of midget wrestling championships are held.

5. Las Vegas
Las Vegas needs no introduction, and perhaps the most accurate thing we might say about it is that everything in Vegas is in a constant battle to outdo itself. Casino owners tear down their establishments rebuild them regularly, not because the buildings are in need of renovation but just because they can.

Enjoy Happy Hour on the Strip and Graveyard specials at Southpoint, or go all out with a $50 front-line pass at the Bank at the Bellagio. Whether it’s Larry Flynt’s Hustler Club you want or the Cirque du Soleil, you’ll find it in Vegas on a stage.

4. New Orleans
The magic and history of New Orleans is difficult to put into words. The city thrives on music and art and even the night life has a rich cultural soul.

From the National World War II Museum to the Southern Repertory Theatre, exhibitions and performance art will leave you with a sense of having truly traveled through time.

And once you have satisfied the mind you can treat the stomach to French Cajun and Creole Fusion that literally adds spice to and sustenance to your experience.Click here to read more »
